WOW! Eleven posts I think you just broke the record! Congratulations!

You know...with FEW exceptions...THAT is the NATURE of music...even amongst those YOU "grew up listening to" and even amongst those who do the "classical training."
Just WOW. Not only a win for dumbest post of the day...but you get 11 wins in a row. Congrats!
Deep what?

Who cares.
Kinda like Whitney.
Tonight, we celebrate a coke addict.
Stop stalking me.

Another superstar to mourn in the near future. Haven’t we had enough? No more superstars, please!
